Sound more like "we're sorry we got caught"

They got caught doing something that it was public knowledge they were doing and the whole point of them doing it was immediately acknowledged in public?
And apologized only after shitstorm ensued
And you wanted a preemptive apology before they'd done it, or people were mad about it?
No ? I don't care about apologies, do better or fuck off
I didn’t read details about their apology, what makes you say that?
I just don't believe there is anyone that would look at what they are doing and go "yes, that's the right course" only to figure out that maybe manipulating politics using your power in social media company is not a good thing to do.
